This is brilliant, the very future of humanity and huge market share for the next 30 years. The cards on the table too early can be a mistake. With Qwen background this can be mass production like 1 Million units/year in the next 3 years. Think of excavators but in minisize for human use. OMG Europe look at this and take note, every industry dream, the robot suit. It will take over the car market by X10 fold in the next decade. Please Europe get on this fast.

This sounds incredible. Have these models effectively solved the problem of trying to use a fast-processing network to predict the world's state ahead? For example, to catch a ball?

Was it expected that Qwen is working on this? What are the current alternatives?

The TAM for robots is much, much larger than for coding or services, and much more strategic when you think about manufacturing and war-making.

The Qwen "suite" is a workmanlike breakdown with demonstrated tasks that seems to me as an outsider to suggest that one could start building integrated systems this year, and have simple products next year. I'd be very interested in an assessment from engineers from the robotics companies (cars, biomedical robots, manufacturing...).

Elsewhere on HN I see hundreds of comments on SpaceX's long-telegraphed merger with Cursor but no serious evaluation of this.

Think, move, sense, at a neck breaking pace. Awareness is just an iteration away.

Is it open source?

Nice! What are some hardware platforms that leverage these models?

I can't view the videos on my phone. How much existential terror should I feel?
